Spay/Neuter Resources
AlterClinic Transport
Monthly low-cost spay/neuter clinic that meets at WCHS.
WHAT IS A TRANSPORTATION CLINIC?
AlterClinic offers transportation to their clinic for low-cost spay/neuter services to members of surrounding counties who may not be able to transport their pet to the clinic for any number of reasons. This clinic meets at Wayne County Humane Society one Wednesday each month to pick up the scheduled animals and then bring them back to AlterClinic where they receive their surgery. We then bring the animals back to WCHS to have their owners pick them up later that same day.
HOW TO SCHEDULE:
All scheduling must be done by calling AlterClinic at (234) 804-3064. They will take down your information and your pet's information and put them on the transport list for the transportation date requested. The week before the scheduled transport, their transport coordinator will call to get the appointments scheduled.
AVAILABLE SERVICES:
Transport is available for spay/neuter appointments only at this time. While a pet is at AlterClinic for spay/neuter, they can perform other services such as vaccinations, microchipping, and SNAP combo testing. They are unable to offer dental services for transportation clients at this time.
PAYMENT AND ADDITIONAL FEES:
Payment is due in-full at the time of scheduling. Please note that in addition to the cost of surgery and services being performed, a $5.00 transportation fee per pet is charged to cover transport expenses.
DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP TIMES:
Owners will drop their pets off at WCHS at 7:00AM on the date of transport and pick them up that same day at 5:00PM.
TRANSPORT FOR TRAPPED CATS:
Yes, we can schedule feral trapped cats for our transportation clinics as well. Please review the requirements for trapped cats found here before scheduling.
DO I NEED TO LIVE IN WAYNE COUNTY TO USE THE TRANSPORT?
Nope! It is not a requirement that you live in that county to be scheduled.
The Rascal Unit
Mobile vet clinic that provides low-cost vet service at WCHS four times each year.
ABOUT THE RASCAL UNIT: The Rascal Unit is a mobile veterinary service based in Dublin, Ohio. There are multiple Rascal Units, each one traveling throughout the state, bringing low-cost pet surgeries and wellness services to the public. You can learn more about the Rascal Unit on their website
HOW TO REGISTER: Call, email, message, or visit the shelter to check on availability. Please note that at our location, wellness services such as vaccines are only available when added to a surgery. Fill out the registration form in person and pay. Full payment is due when you register. Cash, check, Visa, or Mastercard are accepted. Only cash is accepted during the last week before surgery day.
PRICES: You can view the Rascal Unit's current prices here: www.rascalunit.com/services Please note: WCHS charges a $6 administration fee for each animal registered. Refunds will NOT be issued one week before surgery day. Please consider this when registering a feral cat.
WHAT TO EXPECT: You will receive your registration form back after you pay. Keep it, and fill out the back of the form on surgery day, not before. You will also receive instructions on how to prepare for surgery day. Read and follow these carefully. Dogs must be brought on a leash on surgery day. We will provide a cage.
Each cat you bring must be in its own hard plastic carrier. Each carrier must be labeled per the instructions you received. Drop-off times will be assigned when you register. All drop-off times will be in the morning; pick-up times will be in the late morning or afternoon of the same day. We cannot give you an exact pick-up time, but you will receive a call when your pet is ready for pick-up.
To expedite the registration process you can fill out your registration form in advance. The form can be found here: www.rascalunit.com/forms
